Got the DJ

Posted Friday, February 29, 2008 8:53 PM

After what seemed like a long ordeal, we finally have our DJ. I am so excited and relieved. When I first started planning, I contacted 2 DJs right away (one is a friend of FI). One of those DJs I have heard very very good things about. But we ended up
